//Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease sides and bottom of an 8-inch cast iron skillet (or any ovenproof skillet). Place the skillet in the oven for about 5 minutes. (Note: Skillet will be HOT.)

//Prepare batter as directed. Pour batter into preheated skillet. Bake at 400°F 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cornbread by removing from skillet and placing on a rack. This will also prevent the surface from becoming soggy.
